It's possible there are several things holding your voice back, but there is one that is holding you back more than anything else: perception.
Most people preface any kind of presentation or session with me with by telling me how terrible it sounds or reasons for why it will be poor quality. That's your subconscious holding you back! Your perception of how your message is being received is holding you back from playing bigger, from stepping outside of your safety and comfort zone. You are judging yourself in a way that your audience is not. 99.9% of what you put out, what you perceive, is received entirely differently by your audience.
Notice the children in your life and how they boldly own their voice. Little by little - likely before you were five - our internal story is rewritten to remove our confidence, tear us down, and keep us playing "safe." You have to put out a different product (your voice), to get a different reaction. When you are working on improving your voice and breaking down barriers, you are rewriting that internal driver. This then delivers a different "product" via your voice and received differently by your listeners. Stop giving your power away to the perception of what you think we're thinking.
You must - must - grasp the idea that your perception is wrong - that your perception is not what we're thinking. Then, move to the "now" and trust that you've got this. By being in the future and the past, you won't have it. One of the questions you can ask yourself when you are feeling like no one wants to hear what you have to say, you don't sound good, you should just keep quiet, etc.: is this ultimately true?
Until next time, you know what to do. Get out there and speak your truth, just do it beautifully.

July 19, 2019 What's Wrong with Trying to Get the Words Right
Welcome to the show!
Trying to get the words just right. Is that you? For whatever reason, you believe that if you can get those words just right, you're going to get what you want. You're going to be able to control how we feel and think. What you're actually doing is putting a mask in place that will end up being the very thing that will keep you from getting that result. Let's shift that today. When we shift that, we will be able to hear your confidence, connect with you, and you can captivate the room.
Let's talk about the fear of not getting the words right and what that does to your voice. This is something both men and women struggle with. Some of my comments may be more geared to women specifically as this is something they tend to struggle with more, but it can be applied to both men and women dealing with this.
This is something I see in almost everyone I work with. This ideology of having to get the words just. right. You cannot control what I think about you. You can reveal the best version of you and you can release the outcome, but you cannot control what I think about you. YOU are the expert. YOU are educating us. We don't know what you know. Yes, there are facts, data, and information. You may make a mistake because you're human. It's not "wrong"; you're human. By focusing on being "right," and trying to keep people happy, focusing on the outcome you want and what you think we want you to be, you are putting a mask in place. This behavior has been conditioned throughout of lives: being motivated by a fear of something going wrong or something bad happening if you get something "wrong." Don't give your power to your words. The power is not in your words. Your power is in making me feel something. You may mess up the data but you won't mess up the feeling you cause me to feel. The hesitation, pausing, and fumbling that happens when you're struggling to get things just right causes more damage than just connecting with your message, your audience, and releasing the outcome.

Don't get so bogged down in getting it 'right' that we, as your audience, don't know what you're talking about.
This will be my last Friday podcast for now. Keep looking for my regularly schedule podcasts on Tuesday mornings!
Until next time, you know what to do: get out there and speak your truth; just do it beautifully.

July 16, 2019 You Can Have Voice Power
Welcome to the show!
Voice power: you want it, but how do you get it? Today, I'm going to teach you to find the balance between confidence and power to boldly own exactly what you need to say and find internal freedom.
The middle voice - the middle ground that exists within the pendulum of voice patterns. People tend to stay on one side or the other of the swing but the true power lies within the middle. True voice power is found in the middle voice.
Women usually get stuck in the high-pitched, sweet/nice voice with the fear that if they move to a stronger sounding voice, they come across as 'the B word.'
Men usually wrestle with sounding professional vs. unprofessional.
The middle is where your true voice is. This is where true confidence lies. This is where you say what you need to say, releasing the outcome, and not concerned about what others are thinking. The term "power" or "powerful" does not need to have negative connotations. What are your beliefs around power? Do they limit you from stepping into your powerful voice?
Take this as your permission slip to use your middle voice. To ask for what you what. To stand in ownership of what you believe and boldly put it out there.
Release your pressure valve before you swing to the other side, the other extreme from built-up pressure. If you're struggling to find that middle ground, go out to the parking lot or somewhere private and just say whatever it is you want to say. Then, when you go back in and speak directly with them, the edge has been taken off and you are able to find center.
You can reach my fabulous editor, Archie, here.
Until next time, you know what to do: get out there and speak your truth; just do it beautifully.

June 24, 2019 People Pleasing in Voice and Communication Isn't Serving Anyone
Welcome to the show!

Join me today for part two of a four-part series, discovering how to limit noise in your communication and high-stakes relationships. We'll begin with people pleasing and there is a lot to unpack here.
People pleasing is not only limiting your entire existence but they significantly affect your voice, communication, freedom, and happiness.
People pleasing is the number one struggle many of my client's have. When we try to please other's we lose. From a voice perspective you definitely lose because you aren't revealing who you really are and it's clear in your sound. In fact, it's so clear that you aren't revealing who you are that we pass you by.
But it's in communication that people pleasing can really wreak havoc. Many people do this and it's even more innate in women although men can be big people pleasers. The bottom line, you'll never have the freedom you want, the relationship you want, command the presence you want until you can start to be okay with saying what you want and trusting that it's going to be okay.

June 18, 2019 How Expectations Effect Your Voice
Welcome to the show!

Join me today for part one of a four-part series, discovering how to limit noise in your communication and high-stakes relationships. We'll begin with expectations.
Expectations significantly affect your voice, communication, freedom, and happiness.
Susie Connerley is back for more great advice and discussion.
Expectations: A belief that someone will or should achieve something.
We get expectations from experiences we had growing up that are either fulfilled or unfulfilled. All of our habits and beliefs are stored in our subconscious mind and leads to our conditioning. Remember: the neurons that are wired together, fire together.
Ask yourself: what kind of expectations do you get yourself into with other people? Once you work through your own, you free other people of your unconscious expectations of them. Expectations don't need to be negative but you need to be aware of where they are coming from and what you are seeking with them: comfort? Control? It's always about the mental and emotional constructs. Is it unreasonable to have expectations? In truthfulness, if you don't want to be disappointed, you need to not have expectations; realize that you do not have any control over anyone else and their behavior or feelings.

June 14, 2019 Getting Rid of Voice Masks, Getting to the Next Level of Success
Welcome to the show!
Do you want to be a captivating movement maker?
There are three things you need to do: 1) We have to be able to connect with you and let them in.2) You have to reveal who you are.3) You have to reveal how you feel.
Have you considered how voice masks, barriers, and habits are keeping you from connecting with your audience and your next level? Listen to today's episode as we unpack these issues: voice masks out, success in.
Every person has vocal habits. They may be things you don't even think about or know about. Some of the more common or obvious ones include: articulation issues, volume (too loud/too soft), pace (too fast/too slow), struggling to find the words, being stuck in your head, and pronunciation and/or enunciation. Even though those seem like obvious issues to be able to resolve, there are often underlying issues to address: voice barriers. Barriers are akin to bulletproof glass. They keep us from connecting with our audience. They are put in by your conscious to keep you safe, just like bulletproof glass.
People pleasing is a big problem for voice barriers. I also refer to them as voice masks; either way, they are something you hide behind. It can also include: needing to prove, asking for permission, being analytical, being a perfectionist, and being outcome driven. Playing small, not letting us in, not letting us know who you really are is often linked to fear of success.
Ultimately, you're losing out on the next level of success because you're hiding behind these masks. If you really want to own the room, we have to first look at the foundational elements. If you want people to do what you want them to do, data is not going to compel them. They need to feel it. Part of it is knowing who you are and part of it is me knowing what I'm looking for, what I'm trying to find as an audience member.
We don't have to change who you are. We just have to remove the mask from your voice. You put something in place that you believe will get you what you want but it's the very thing that will keep you from getting what you want. These masks are driven internally by protection but they ultimately prevent connection.
Masks, like bulletproof glass, are clear and sometimes they can be very thick. There are often multiple layers standing in between you as the speaker and me as the audience member. How do we start removing these masks and revealing who we are? Awareness. Being aware of what you're doing is a huge part. Voice work is much bigger than just getting rid of bad voice habits. There is no amount of warming up your voice that is going to get rid of bad voice habits. Why are you going to warm up what's not working anyway? We have to fix these things at the root cause, the barrier. Of course we have to look at muscle memory and technical voice work, but not forever.
I find success when I lean into what I know, even without warming up: Reveal how I feelNo barriersCreate a Connection5 ElementsVoice Journey
